- Thanks to the email from lyme local lyme support group leader for shaing this:
Angeli VanLaanen is a freestyle skiier from Bellingham Washington who after being sidelined with Lyme disease now has plans of competing in the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics. Angeli's health problems began when she was 10 years old.
This could be just a bit dizzying at about six places for some with vertigo due to skiing and jumping scenes but the scenes are so well shot, far better than most action scenes.
It's just mostly her on the mountain but that is only about 1/3 of the film, interspersed.
Sound quality is excellent and balanced. No surprises.
No flashes, no jarring graphics & no quick film jumps. Who ever put this together did a great job of editing.
Excellent & Uplifting - a beautiful young woman shares her ordeal to help others. We get to see some gorgeous mountain scenes along the way.
Thanks for posting this, as a person who enjoys downhill skiing and the mountains I found this very interesting and am so glad she is doing so much better and able to compete again.
